What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a profession, not a treatment. As a profession, chiropractors are trained healthcare professionals with unique training to manage many common health conditions. Chiropractors utilize treatments, including joint manipulation, physical therapy modalities, patient education, manual therapy, nutrition, and rehabilitation exercises, to address each patient's unique situation. Chiropractic care works with your nervous system to help it function optimally. When the nervous system is functioning well, patients will often see additional benefits from care, which may include: improved posture, less pain, increased energy, less brain fog, improved performance, improved digestion, less allergies...just to name a few.

What makes chiropractic care different?

Chiropractic care attempts to treat the source of dysfunction and not just the symptoms. Muscle relaxants and pain medications may only cure the symptoms of the issue, but chiropractic care can help by addressing the root of the problem. There is a lesser probability of getting such symptoms later on when pain is treated at the cause. If you only pay attention to the symptoms, it's like removing the battery from a smoke alarm because you don't like the sound, but the fire is still burning. Chiropractic care has much better solutions than that. 

What happens at my first visit?

  • A thorough case history will be taken
  • The way you walk, sit, move about the office will be observed
  • Spinal alignment will be assessed by the Doctor
  • Orthopedic and neurological testing will be conducted
  • Tests of flexibility and mobility/ranges of motion will be performed
  • Muscle strength will be assessed
  • Dr. MacKenzie will discuss their findings with you, and if it is something that can be helped chiropractically, a plan of care/treatment will be advised
